Saffron (Moved) New Location

It was just after 2pm after we had a good stroll in Stanley. Saw this Saffron and thought we would give it a try. The bakery stuff "seems" freshly made but it was a disaster once we went for the chicken pie, a croissant and 2 mochas. The bill came to about $150.00.The staff took our chicken pie and put into the MICROWAVE!!! A "Freshly Made" pie does not need to be headed up in the microwave!!!  Apparently THIS is NOT made fresh!!! And the taste was really STALE!!!  We were very disappointed with

每次來赤柱都喜歡喝一杯咖啡, 四周有這麼多選擇, 自然就不會去 STAR 或 PAC 字頭的分店了...Saffron 是個人喜歡的一家, 地方較大, 坐得較舒服, 沒有美式連鎖的迫迫夾夾感覺, 昨天坐了一個多小時, 也沒有人來趕你走, 實在難得... 本來想喂 Flat White 的, 但不知何故 Flat White 比 Latte 貴 10 蚊... 我想不通原因, 因此就要了 Latte 算了, 咖啡很香實在不錯... 再叫了一個 Ham & Cheese Crossiant. 麵包比現在時興的牛角飽實在, 咬下去不是一陣風的... 而芝士及火腿也落足料, 2 人一份也可以

Saffron是我每次到赤柱也想起的店,因為這裡的食物,夠晒外國人home made食物招待朋友的的「自家感覺」。以前在一樓,現搬到地下,地方大了不了。現在真是適合外籍人客,與小朋友的”天地”。看見琳瑯滿目的餅食,要取捨太多,也揀了三樣東西。Cinnamon Roll,沒有玉桂味,麵包實崩崩,好像隔夜似的,唔好食。Croissant,酥皮不是一層層,內裡沒牛油香,有點半麵包feel。皮再焗一焗後,仍是韌的。現在是追求優質croissant、優質鬆脆的酥皮年代,這種已不入流了。紅莓麥粿bar,很甜,有朕索膠味。又係唔好食。好失望,以前幫襯過兩次,都滿意,現在差了那麼多!?

Before I entered the café, the vintage arcade had already grasped my attention. For those who have been to the UK, they must find the decor rather familiar, as the posters and postcards can be found everywhere in flea markets or some little boutique out there. Still, the collection in this shop is not really large compared to mine at home . Anyway, I do fancy the decor.The counter of Saffron was filled with various pastries, cakes and bread. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try them all. After s

見食評不錯，便遠道而來試一試！叫了一個牛肉批$55，（大小跟一般麵包店差不多，咁嘅價錢一定有d期望，咬落去係熱，但酥皮唔香又唔脆，酥皮極難食.另叫了一杯cappuccino$30，味道一般！

午飯後，走到赤柱海邊逛逛，天氣不錯。記得出門前看看天氣佈告，說會有微雨，幸好天公造美，沒有下雨，還有些微風，挺舒服。逛到有點口渴，便到廣場的Saffron坐坐喝點東西。店內以啡紅色為主題，洋溢一片歐陸式氣氛。男朋友專注地看著他的飲品，而我就被甜品玻璃櫃上芭芘蛋糕吸引著。收銀處旁放滿不同款式的麵點批餅，如曲奇、Brownies，甚至有在德國吃到的傳統Raspberry Cake，琳琅滿目，香氣撲鼻，看似很美味。甜點雖然沒有精緻花巧的裝飾賣相，卻很有Homemade的感覺，純樸自然。想著吃甚麼好，店主介紹下，選了蘋果撻來試試。店員把蘋果撻先焗熱，燙口的蘋果批，玉桂香味撲鼻。表面微微金黃，入口牛油味道酥香，中間夾著薄薄的蘋果片，玉桂味道甜香，但略嫌蘋果層太薄，沒有甚麼口感。而蘋果撻外圍的撻皮跟底層的不同，更富牛油香味，口感較為撻底的硬身點，但也鬆脆可口。喜愛這裡的食物，給人有Homemade的感覺，還有很多款式想試，如朱古力撻及焦糖蛋糕等，下次再來試試吧。

我只識講......十分好味！不過我忘記咗佢個名字呀！請好心人話比我知啦！佢面頭個糖霜甜，個蛋糕面層有少少脆架......呢個都好食，但唔及上面果個啦，但以蘋果批來講，冇想像中的酸。

過往的兩次經驗告訴我，這家店最大的特點是未到達這裡也未知道有甚麼甜點。首次到訪時吃過New York Cheesecake，無論在味道、質感或份量也令我欲罷不能，在這種情況下促使我第二次在到此買餅。怎料第二次發現款式已經改頭換面，例如，蘋果批轉了作檸檬批，New York Cheesecake更消失得無形無蹤，真的非常失望，但又嚐了另一款的甜餅，結果亦有驚喜，促使了我今天的再三到訪。今天來到甜餅款式亦比起上次大為不同，已經沒售上兩次也有售的Carrot Cake，這次仍然沒售New York Cheesecake，倒是出現了新的兩款甜餅，分別是Lemon Cake與Hummingbird(蜂花蜜) Cake。首先，三次均點的Vanilla Cupcake。這天還有售粉紅色型態，友人要了原始白色，我則要了較特別的粉紅色，其實只是顏色上的分別。蛋榚本身鬆軟，但有別於雪芳蛋榚那種性質，比較像是美式鬆餅的堅實。頂層的牛油霜十分香甜誘人，友人覺得很甜(不過她每次來也有吃)，我也認為比其他餅店的甜，但是是能接受的甜。其次，Lemon Cake。比起其他甜餅，這是最不甜的一款，帶清新的檸檬香，友人更

這間西式餅食,一向給我非常home made口味。經過已聞到很香很香的曲奇味!!但今次目標不是曲奇,而是批!!有羊肉批、火雞批、牛肉批有茄汁和香料牛肉粒兩種、蘑菇雞批。選了蘑菇雞批$35。回家切開,何解肉餡是深啡色的??是牛肉來嗎??吃下真的覺得是牛肉碎!anyway的而且確不錯!!沒有pet pet白汁,肉餡很多!仔細看,酥皮好像是有麥粒呢!!唔怪之得那麼多人食批啦!Chocolate Loaf cake $15,蛋糕濕潤軟熟,而且朱古力味,看蛋糕顏色已知,濃!!!現在店外範圍正有大工程,大煞不少店內「氣氛」。

Raisin scone and lemon scone: One of my favourite items...not too dry. The texture is great, full of butter...very fresh! expresso tart: If you are one of the "expresso fans", you have to try this one. A very special taste...crispy and unforgettable! Mushroom and chicken pie: Full of fillings....with solid texture...yummy! Croissant: Not the best in town...but I'm still loving it! I come here a lot!!!Although it seems a bit pricy,it's worthy!!!

經過此店就被它的糕點吸引住非常精美 .. 七彩繽紛的餅乾令人童心未泯...哈哈, 終於買了一PACK 幾塊的來試試當然啦 看見五顏六色的 大多數是很甜很生是層非常厚的糖衣但是帶有好看濃的牛油味, 加上赤柱的黃昏自不覺膩 ...閒時這樣來此處逛逛 很是不錯的選擇吧..

行山後出stanley, 經過這裡, 想買些cookies給朋友太多choices, 有for halloween的cookies, 最後選了可愛的gingerbread & stick cookie我問店員有沒有透明膠袋替我pack好, packing幾靚, 店員很nice, 見我拿著個soft drink can問要不要替我丟掉它 朋友很大反應說『好好味』, 這還真的是第一次, 相信真的好好味, 下次要買給自己試試p.s. 原本想買cupcake, 但有flies around the cupcakes...

前陣子工作太苦了! 想遠離一切!所以順道到赤柱閒逛...輕鬆一下,又再次回到這裡...地方依舊...美味依舊! spinach and mushroom tart: 我點的, 很香的餅底, 做得十分不錯, 而且spinach與mushroom的份量也剛好, 真的很滋味! tomato cheese pie: 朋友之選, 清清的, 芝士不會過膩, 她也喜歡喔! turkish pie: 回家後買給家人的tea, 烘焗後品嚐, 真的很讚呀! filling是chicken, 唯少汁且較乾身, 但批本身是不錯的!rosemary sourdough 與 german rye bread: 它的麵包真是超級size, 但每次去到我總會帶兩個回家的, 因為真的做得出色! 煙煙"unun", 水份與烘烤時間也剛好, 加上是自然發酵的吧, 對我這鬼妹仔口味來說, 就完全是perfect match!其實, 它每款包點, pastry, tart之類也很不錯, 即使地點再遠, 但有holiday時, 我也會過來這裡的, 只要愛上, 就會懷念!

First time tried this cafe... Surprisingly food is very good and very american. You can find all kinds of American candies and snacks.The best of all is the bagel... Crispy on outside and soft inside. Must try. Dun forget to get cream cheese as well.Service is very good. The lady is very gentle and polite.My kid ordered a strawberry cup cake... The icing is a bit sweet but dun forget... this is "american"... Like this kind of original...Will go again next time...

前幾日冇野做約左個朋友入赤柱行下...仲未食野就諗住食件cake先....但呢件cake真係好好好好好甜呀!!太甜都吾係好覺有朱古力味可能比較岩外國人既口味...因為入面十個有九個都係外國人。
